St Kitts resort associates honored for their outstanding work

by Bajan Reporter / January 26th, 2014

Marriott’s success begins with its associates. The company believes that our associates are our greatest asset and recognizing our associates for their hard work and creating avenues of growth and career development for them are all part of our associate-centered environment.

In keeping with these values the St Kitts Marriott Resort held its Annual celebratory event to say “Thank You” to associates for their outstanding performance and significant contributions during 2013. This year’s celebration took the form of a cocktail reception, dinner and dance for all associates. To ensure that associates enjoyed the night to the fullest, as with local tradition, roles were reversed. Managers took the place of bartenders and wait staff while the Executive Committee members had the additional duties of being the welcoming committee, master of ceremonies and hosts.

Another tradition was upheld with prizes being distributed and raffled amongst the associates throughout the entire night. During dinner, announcements were made for those associates who won awards for outstanding service delivery throughout 2013. Associates were nominated by their managers and peers throughout the entire year.

“I am delighted to be a part of this celebration,” said Jacques Hamou resort General Manager. “This year we had so many outstanding associates to recognize for being brilliant hosts/hostesses and taking great care of our guests. All those who were nominated are winners. Congratulations to them all.”
